Kevin Anderson Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Anyone else with a Radeon 8500 having 'sky' problems in Jedi Knight 2? I've read other posts complaining about the lack of moving sky, but I have none at all! Just a big bright white or yellow patch. It's most noticeable at the beginning of the Bespin level. I've tried various driver sets but with no success. Anyone experiencing anything similar, or know of a solution? Runs fine apart from this little problem..

Foxbatkllr Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Well there's a thread devoted to sky problems with NVIDIA cards, but no mention of ATI troubles. First of all, do you have the latest driver for your card? If you do, maybe you need an older driver. Also, I would just try reducing the graphics settings and playing around with that a bit.

dansolo Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I have a fix that might work for you. Some drivers seem to switch the sky to the simple mode. But in JO, the simple mode = NO sky. When you load up JO, hit shift+tilde to get the console. Then enter this command: r_fastsky "0" If you enter this command mid game, you may need to enter the following command to restart your video: vid_restart Hope this helps, -ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansolo Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 No problemo! Perhaps the moderators can make this thread sticky so people with the same problem resolve the issue. (and I've come across several of them) -ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P h o e n i x Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 wow, thanks! that fixed my yellow sky problem also i couldn't find that nvidia thread, but this fixed it for me (the r_fastsky 0 trick) what exactly does that do? does it make the skies very basic? or something else?

If the r_fastsky variable is set to "0", you are using the high quality sky. The reason people are having problems is because many video drivers will automatically set the r_fastsky to "1"... which causes the sky to be VERY basic. (Think of the 1's and 0's as true/false and it makes more sense.) -ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
